Re: Writers Checklist! Make Sure You Have All The Qualities Of a Great Writer Here!

I know I'm late to the party, but just a little more advice to add to the description bit:

Adjectives adverbs can be great, but try not to overuse them. Good writing is not necessarily "fancy writing"; it's prose that is clear, coherent, and precise. Try to put all the power in your nouns and verbs. For instance, if you're writing about a blue jay and not just a generic bird, be sure to specify in your description. All the adjectives in the world won't mean much if your reader can't get a clear picture of what you're precisely talking about it. If that said blue jay is flying high in the sky, use a precise verb like "soar." Most of the time, short, crisp sentences have a much greater effect than do long, rambling ones.

I'm not saying adding more description would be bad. Remember, though, that words like "beautiful" and "magnificent" and "gorgeous" actually say very little. Try showing the reader why the trees are magnificent. If it's their height, you could try the describing them as "the oak trees that towered [over the valley/whatever] and cast large, brooding shadows on the ground."

Ick, that's not a very good description, but I hope that at least gets the point across somewhat.^^
